I was not aware that the anti-vaxers were trying to create an awareness month. I am sure Science-Based Medicine will soon post several blogs about how extremely wrong and dangerous the whole anti-vaccine movement truly is.

As sad as it is to say, the consolation is people who are not intelligent enough to vaccinate will get weeded out of the gene pool. I don't relish in needles suffering in any way, but fuck them. Right int the blistering sores. I only feel bad for the kids.

If it only was the people deciding not to get a vaccination who were weeded out, but the real risk here is to children. So what the question should be is "Is not vaccinating your children child abuse?".
